(Deutsche Welle) The day that Elke Müller dreads so much is not long off — the day her daughter Anna turns 18. “When she is of age, I can no longer legally hold her back,” Müller told DW.
And then, she fears, Anna will marry her first true love, Abdul. If this were to happen, Müller believes she could lose her daughter.
Anna doesn’t know that her mother spoke with DW and Müller doesn’t want her to find out: she’s afraid that Anna might resent her decision to speak out.
That is why she chose not to use her real name.
Still, Müller wanted to tell her daughter’s story in order to encourage other parents in a similar situation to seek help.
